"Since my injury I haven't been able to go hunting, which used to be one of my favorite things. I found out that the state has a program for disabled deer hunting. Could you please complete the attached forms to let me participate in this?"

I hope this is simply a misplaced adjective, and not some bizarre new state program.

I'm from the countryside. Some of the non-handicapped hunters are worry enough. Depending on this guy's handicap, there is no WAY I'd want someone with certain disabilities carrying weapons and shooting at things almost literally in my back yard.

By the way, I suspect this deer hunting program involves shooting domesticated deer in a large, wooded pen. No sport in that at all.
